I had the pleasure of doing a voiceover for a new NASA video about a new satellite mission called the Global Precipitation Measurement mission. I currently use data from its predecessor (the TRMM satellite) in the many hurricane updates I write. Because this new mission will also help with hurricane research, I thought it was really cool to do! Rob
GPM: Hurricanes Beyond the Tropics
NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission, or GPM, a
joint NASA/JAXA mission, will provide rainfall data on storms and
hurricanes like Irene that move out of the tropics. The data will be
available when the GPM Core Observatory launches in
2014 and will show in 3D how these storm systems develop and intensify
as they move poleward. GPM's Core Observatory, partnered with a
constellation of international satellites, will provide a global picture
of rain and snow every three hours.
